Grapelli was pretty impressive with the late move, no?

As for the Rafael, Grapelli is my horse.

Yeah, Scav, I know a little about boxing horses. Just surprised you used Notional at all.

So now that you've seen this race, what do you expect out of these top finishers? I kinda liked Notional and hoped getting back on dirt would be the diff. He didn't disappoint , but not much value.

Only reason I used Notional was because I didn't think their was much in the race besides Tenfold, and I couldn't justify boxing anyone else with Tenfold for $50, then Notional.

Not really sure what to think about them. Not sure how much Tenfold's performance was Victors fault because as Bethani said, he was pretty keyed up, 46 is ludicious, but custom in all races in California.

I don't think Notional will win a race over 8.5 furlongs. Tenfold, not sure yet, next race will tell us alot, and my guess is that they might skip the next race and give him 45 days off. They got graded stakes earnings out of this so it was positive. Not a fan of Grapelli, seems to be a plotter...but could get better with distance.
